Yes, but many AAA games these days already have a mobile game tie in. Star Wars Battlefront has a mobile game. Heck, even the new Skylanders game is going to have a mobile creator app. What the NX will bring to the table is a mobile device specificly designed to seamlessly integrate with the home console in ways our current smart devices were never designed to.

Yeah, but if that's the kind of thing they're talking about, it's kind of pointless.  The mobile game can already be played on the phone I already have in my pocket.  If that's all the "interacting with your games on the go" thing means, then it's not that appealing.  

But it will be very appealing, even a must have, for kids that don't own a smart phone. The mobile game tie-in to AAA games are inaccessible to younglings with no phones. Also the AAA tie-in mobile games are already made to run on Andriod and IOS so the mini portable unit that comes with the NX probably runs a branched version making these existing games ready to go. The big question is what other kind of mobile to console integration will Nintendo bring with the NX that doesn't currently exist now?
